 msmoocow 2009-07-03 . chapter 1Ooh, great take on a scene that TOTALLY MUST HAVE HAPPENED in canon. Lulzy funerals are where it is AT. I like that it's angsty, yet...it's inherently twinnish, so there's hope and happy and lols.

 numberman123 2008-02-14 . chapter 1I loved it. The death of Fred really hit me hard cause they twins are some of the only characters I've ever really liked for a long time (much like Tom Riddle for one) and I never really considered one of them dying while the other survived. It makes me sad to think of George being alone for the rest of his life because no one will ever replace Fred.
You captured my idea of what George would do in this situation. Most would just slap a "He lost his twin and now he's sappy and lonely and cries himself to sleep" label on him but I don't think he'll have done that. I think George would have lived on and tried to find happiness because Fred would have hurt him in the afterlife afterwards if he didn't. But he would have wanted all the happy memories of his brother in his heart, not the memories of mourning. This fic really made my day. Thank for writing it. |
 The Happy Stalker Ball 2007-09-15 . chapter 1Aww, poor George. I do like this alot-- the fact that they're going to go to the funeral in colors. I also think George would've insisted and that he would've kept on going or, at least, giving it his best shot. Anyway, really enjoyed it! Well, I mean it was sad and all, but I did like your writing! |
 tragicpoet54 2007-08-14 . chapter 1Oh this is just a perfect little drabble to remember dear fred. I remember staring at the page and re-reading the paragraph, trying to look for the loop hole that would allow him to return. But, alas. Good job. |
 pyrofreeze 2007-07-29 . chapter 1Dressed in colors at the funeral… yeah, I think Fred would’ve liked that.
As a twin myself, Fred’s death really got to me too. I’m glad you wrote this; you wrote the characters very nicely. :) |
 A Spot of Bother 2007-07-28 . chapter 1I have to thank you for writing this, I really do. His death hit me hard, because I think subconsciously I expected, the way George did, that whatever happened to them would happen to /both/ of them. And it really bothered me that there was no follow-up, no sense of what came after the battle and people had time to properly mourn. "If any of you lot come to the funeral dressed in mourning, I’ll Transfigure your clothes into something cheerful, down to your underpants." That's perfect. I love that. Kudos for expanding on a subject that really should've been explored better in the source material. |
 ColoredBleach 2007-07-26 . chapter 1A friend of mine, spoiled it for me, right after I started to read it. In all honesty I wanted to believe she was wrong, because if there were two characters who I wanted to come unharmed it was the Weasley Twins. George and Fred have been my long time favorites (Seven years now..), of this series.
At first I didn't believe Fred really died, but after re-reading the last few chapters, It became more real. I cried over the fact of how cruel it was for George to stuck alone, when his whole life he's had Fred.
*coughs* Now onto your story...
It really hit what I thought George would have felt, and done. Most of the people writing about George's loss, make him drown in his misery. I don't think he'd give up so easily. The whole idea that he'd make them go in colors makes complete sense to me.
I just hope that George and Fred will be reuinted in death like the Marauders. |
